Chevalle was a Pirate Lord hailing from Marseilles[1] and operating during the time of Lord Cutler Beckett's attempts to eradicate piracy in the Caribbean. Chevalle was the lord of the Mediterranean Sea,[2] and was known to use the title "Capitaine".[3]
Biography
Chevalle was a former member of the French aristocracy who had fallen on hard times.[4] He spent many years pillaging the weak and wealthy trade ships of Europe, and trading between the Old World and the New World in the French Caribbean Colonies, such as Montserrat and Haiti. He was also known to plunder the Spanish Treasure Fleets of Villanueva as they returned from such locales as Mexico.[1] He was wanted dead or alive by the East India Trading Company for crimes including piracy in the French seas, attempting to steal from the Swiss Bank, and defacement and destruction of French property both on land and at sea. The reward was 6,000 guineas.[3]
Chevalle was captured and sentanced to hang at Fort Charles in Port Royal. He was rescued from the stocks prior to his scheduled execution by Jack Sparrow, who, as a condition of the rescue, convinced Chevalle to join the Brethren Court at Shipwreck Cove.
Chevalle held a degree of animosity towards Villanueva, punching him in the face when the latter pulled a pistol on him. He witnessed the battle around Calypso's maelstrom, and celebrated with his crew following the deaths of Davy Jones Lord Cutler Beckett.
